This site features photos of the energy industry,
which includes oil and gas, wind power, solar, nuclear and biofuels.

The modern
energy industry provides us with a standard of living like no previous
generation has ever enjoyed. Not many of us think of the hard working men and
women in these industries when we fill our tanks or turn on our lights. We tend
to see only the negative parts of oil and gas drilling, such as spills, or
global warming, yet much of domestic drilling is being done for clean burning
natural gas, which is our safest "bridge" to 100% renewable energy.

As for oil, most of our vehicles continue to be powered by gasoline
and diesel. Every drop of oil that comes from
domestic sources is one less that comes from a conflict plagued region, and thus
domestic oil drilling, done responsibly, enhances our national security.

These are some of my
recent oilfield photos taken in Texas and New Mexico.

About the Photographer.

I've spent over 25 years
working in the oil and gas industry from the desert southwest to the
swamps of Louisiana and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. I've witnessed some spectacular sights
including drilling rig blowouts, pipeline fires, amazing sunrises and sunsets from
offshore oil platforms and more.

Now after many years of film photography a
Canon 40D
travels with me in my offshore bag. As an avid photographer and oilfield worker
I am able to capture unique images that the public would never otherwise see of
this dynamic and multi faceted industry. More
photos will be added to the site as I convert slides to digital
images and upload new digital photos. A few of the energy industry images, such
as oil well fire photos, on this site are not mine. They have been e-mailed to
me over the years. If you wish to have your photo removed or have your name
listed in the credits please contact me at the address below. Some of the photos
on this site are available for sale in high resolution. Contact me using the
link below.

I have posted some
articles for those considering a career in the oilfield. It is a financially
rewarding career path, but one that is full of hardship and hazards.
You'll find a list of oil field
slang and terms that will come in handy.
